At Monmouth University,

a private university in suburban West Long Branch, New Jersey, students are registered to vote, engaged in the election process, and casting their ballots.

REGISTERED TO VOTE

Through Monmouth University's Stand Up and Be Counted voter campaign, students and staff are working toward the goal of registering 100% of eligible students by November 2008. The campaign has raised political awareness and energized the campus community to register and vote in national and local elections. Throughout the year, the campaign holds:

political debates

policy forums

Rock the Vote events

voter registration drives

political Olympics

election parties

educational conferences

Monmouth students visit the political bus when it stops on campus and participate in the excitement at democratic and republican campaign headquarters on election night.
